The Office of Counselor provides independent legal advice to the Inspector
General and OIG managers. The Office provides a full range of legal services in
furtherance of the OIG’s mission. Attorneys provide advice and counsel on
internal matters, and serve as liaison to the OIG legal community, the
Department of Justice and other agencies. OIG attorneys are involved in all
aspects of OIG operations to include reviewing reports for release to the
public, internal personnel matters, False Claims Act cases, legislative
initiatives, testifying before Congress, etc.

The Release of Information Office falls under the supervision of the
Counselor to the IG. That office primarily processes Freedom of Information Act
and Privacy Act requests for OIG records, as well as other requests for
information to include discovery during litigation.

The Contract Review Division also falls under the supervision of the
Counselor to the IG.
